Your problem is not too much to do. It is too many open decisions

May 3 Is Where Sunday Starts Lying To You

Most overwhelm is not too much to do - it is too many open loops you never closed.

You don’t need more motivation. You need pre-made moves.
You’re not procrastinating - you’re staring at a foggy starting line
